All,   I am proud to be a HeadFi sponsor and would like to introduce a new brand and product that I have been working on: Vinnie Rossi LIO       What is LIO? LIO is a refreshing new concept in high performance audio electronics. It is more than a product – it is an audio system...

All, I spoke with Ken about this, and I am going to be offering a 12V output jack for the Isabellina HPA. This would allow one to tap off of the internal 12V SLA battery and SMART charging circuit to power external devices that take a 12Vdc input. For example, the Wadia iTransport could...

All, This morning, one of my Isabellina HPA customers (headfi memeber "decur") came to visit me at Red Wine Audio. He brought his Isabellina HPA (with approx. 150 hours burn-in), along with some very nice headphones: - Sony R10s - Senn HD800s - Denon D-7000s Sources were our Macbooks...

All, Ok - most of the Isabellina HPAs from the 1st production run have shipped this week (as promised!) Ken of ALO Audio and I would like to start this thread for Isabellina HPA owners and for the posting of listening impressions. Right now, I am listening to a pair of HD800s (thanks...

All, I finally got around to opening my 160GB iPod Classic, as I wanted to try swapping the drive with my 80GB 5.5G iMod. Unfortunately, the 160GB drive is totally different than the 80GB drive. The 160GB drive is made by Samsung and uses a different type of zif connector (only 18...

All, I've spent quite a lot of time with my 6G iPod Classic. I 'scoped the line out and headphone outputs and followed their paths from the Apple 338S0394, which is the new CODEC (dac) chip used, to the line-out and headphone output jacks. Both the line-out stage and the headphone output...

To our 5G/5.5G iMod customers outside of the USA: I spoke with Ken about a way to make it easier (and a little cheaper) for you. When you send your 5G/5.5G iMod to Red Wine Audio for the iMod and order the iMod Dock Cable from Ken at ALO, ask Ken to ship your cable to us at Red Wine Audio. We...

All, I spent a while checking out the motherboard of my new 60GB iPod Color. Here is what I've found: -- After the Wolfson 8975 dac, BOTH the line out and headphone outputs are sent into their own Analog Devices stereo opamps. My 20GB iPod (black and white), that I performed the iMod...

All, Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I took apart my 20gb iPod (4th gen) and noticed that the coupling caps used for the headphone outputs are only 100uF! This means that if you are using 32-ohm headphones, you can expect the cutoff to be at approx. 50Hz. If you are using...
